"Help me," a faint voice whispered through the Ouija board.

Crissy's eyes sparkled with excitement. "We have to help them!"

Ruby and Alex exchanged nervous glances, but Perry's concern was overridden by curiosity. "What's your name?" Perry asked, her fingers on the planchette.

The planchette moved erratically, spelling out "E-M-M-A".

"Emma, what's wrong?" Crissy asked, her voice filled with empathy.

The planchette began to move rapidly, the letters blurring together. Suddenly, the room grew colder, and the lights flickered.

"Guys, this is bad," Ruby warned, her voice trembling.

"Yeah this is really bad", jack agreed

But Crissy and Perry were too invested, asking more questions. Emma's responses grew more urgent, more desperate.

And then, the planchette flew off the board, and the lights went out. A ghostly figure materialized in front of them, its eyes black as coal.

Crissy screamed as the ghost lunged at her, its icy fingers grazing her skin. Perry tried to defend her, but the ghost's grip was too strong. It flung Perry across the room, her body crashing into the wall.

As the ghost vanished, the lights flickered back to life. Crissy and Perry lay on the floor, injured and shaken.

"What have we done?" Ruby whispered, horror etched on her face.

The ghost's presence lingered, haunting them. Doors creaked open and shut, disembodied whispers seemed to come from nowhere, and ghostly apparitions flitted around the corners of their vision.

Crissy and Perry, still recovering from their injuries, were plagued by vivid nightmares. Ruby and Alex tried to stay strong, but the constant fear wore them down.

One night, as they huddled together in terror, the ghost materialized before them. Its eyes burned with a malevolent intensity, and its voice was a chilling whisper.

"You should not have meddled in things you don't understand," it hissed. "Now you will never be free."

And with that, the ghost vanished, leaving behind a trail of eerie whispers that seemed to come from all directions.

The friends knew they had to escape the house, but the ghost seemed to be toying with them, manipulating their perceptions. They began to question their own sanity.

"Is this real?" Crissy asked, her voice barely audible.

Ruby's eyes darted around the room. "What's real? What's not?"

As they struggled to distinguish reality from illusion, the ghost's haunting grew more intense. They knew they had to find a way to stop it before it was too late...

The creepy voice returned, its menacing tone echoing in their minds. "Run, hide, but you'll never escape."

But just as fear gripped them, a ghostly girl materialized before them. Her ethereal form shimmered with a soft, blue light, and her eyes held a gentle kindness.

"Follow me I'm sia," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Crissy recognized the girl from her dreams. "Sia?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Sia nodded, her gaze locked on Crissy. "I've come to help you."

Without hesitation, the friends followed sia through the twisting corridors of the haunted mansion. She led them to a hidden room, where a mysterious artifact glowed with an otherworldly energy.
